I am a member of the Washington State University women's rowing team.  I am very fortunate to be apart of this program as it was created to fulfill the requirement of equal funding for men's and women's sports.  As a child I went from sport to sport, never finding one that I really loved, until my senior year in high school when I tried rowing.  I fell in love with the sport and it was a factor in choosing where I attended college.  This is just after one year...I can only imagine the passion that these swimmers and divers feel for the sport they have been participating since they were little kids.  Now, they must chose whether to stay at Dartmouth and give up on some of their dreams or follow their passion to another school.  Don't place that burden on these students.  Thank you for your time.
